The survey also found that one in four people in Scotland are spending approximately £219 a year on chocolate as they get their daily fix.

Yet 41 per cent of those surveyed have no idea how much they’re spending, and almost half of respondents (48 per cent) say the cost wouldn’t sway their choice anyway.

Chocolate habits may be down to the Scottish public seizing the opportunity to spend some alone time, with a massive 52 per cent confessing to eating it by themselves. So much for loving someone enough to give away your last Rolo, as only 20 per cent say they are happy to share their treat with their partner.

Over a third (36 per cent) of the population reach for a solid bar above all others – almost double that of the nutty variety which sits in second place (19 per cent).

Interestingly a chewy chocolate is way down the list with only two per cent of the nation voting it as their favourite type to accompany their egg this Easter.
